President Trump said in an interview Saturday night that he would gladly run against Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2020, calling that scenario “a dream come true.”
“I think she would lose so badly,” Trump told Fox News’ Jesse Watters. “She hurt Hillary Clinton very badly” during the 2016 campaign.
Warren, a darling of progressives, was one of Clinton’s most high-profile surrogates during the 2016 election. The two women often appeared together for rallies in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, among other battleground states.
“I watched that last couple weeks, where she was getting up with that craziness and anger,” Trump said of Warren’s final few appearances on the campaign trail. “They are hard. I said, ‘She is bad for Hillary,'” Trump said.
“Pocohontas would not be proud of her as her representative, believe me,” he added, bringing back a nickname for Warren that he has used from time to time.
Watters suggested that Warren is likely to challenge Trump for re-election in 2020.
“I hope so,” Trump responded. “That would be a dream come true.”
